I always though the name of the movie was alien, but I can not find it. It is about a child that loses his parents in an accident where their motorhome goes over a cliff, the young boy is alone in the wilderness. An old man on a walking journey encounters the young man and takes him along on his journey. The old man is dying and does not have time to take the young man back to civilization, so he teaches him survial skills so he can make it back on his own. I would very much like to know the correct name of this movie and obtain it.
